Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (Arcade)
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo |
---|
Also known as: Super Puzzle Fighter II X (JP)
|
Before Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix, there was Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, which as you may have guessed is a puzzle game starring Capcom's arcade fighting game characters from the Street Fighter Alpha and Darkstalkers games in super-deformed form as they fight (and taunt) in comedic battles over puzzles, and there are a lot of gems to clear!
Also, did we mention that Devilot from Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness was a secret playable character in this game? Yes, that Devilot.
To do: Unused graphics present in the game's tilesets, such as some graphic leftovers from Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, among some other unused graphics, sounds and content. |

Unused Graphics
Sakura
Sakura has unused damage sprites in her tiles. The graphics were later being re-used in Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix for her when she slips over and falls, although only her face was being slightly re-drawn for that game.
Unused Power Gem Transforming/Breaking Sprites
There are graphics for four gems in a square shape either transforming into a Power Gem, or breaking.
Unused Birdie Score Ranking Icon
This unused Score Ranking icon for Birdie appears in this game's tilesets, but its palette isn't present or correct. It goes unused because it was a leftover from Street Fighter Alpha 2, which it was used in that game.
Unused Debug Filler Sprites
These debug filler graphics can be seen many times in the graphic ROMs.

To better correspond with the game's logo, the shape in the logo on the game's HUD is a X in the Japanese version and a star in the international versions.
Interestingly, the Japanese shape was used in Morrigan's ending in all versions of Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
Character Names
Japan | International |
---|---|
Lei-Lei | Hsien-Ko |
Gouki | Akuma |
Hsien-Ko and Akuma are named Lei-Lei and Gouki in the Japanese version, which is consistent with prior appearances of both characters. The Announcer's voice clips were also changed to reflect this.
Continue Screen
To do: Add screenshots. Also, add a table comparing the Japanese quotes + translations and their English ones. |
The Japanese version contains tips and tricks at the bottom of the screen to help improve your skills during the gameplay, but this part was made empty in the international versions.
Extra Win Quotes
To do: Add a table comparing the Japan-exclusive Win Quotes and their English translations. |
The Japanese version has additional Win Quotes for all eleven characters, which will be different depending on the opponent whom had lost the match to it. They were not translated for the International versions, which makes them go unused.
